AAV gene therapy vectors in the TMJ
Abstract Objectives The goal of this project was to evaluate the use of two adeno‐associated viral vector serotypes, adeno‐associated viral vectors (AAV)‐2 and AAV‐6, approved for and used for gene therapy in humans, for the delivery of therapeutic genes to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the attendant sensory nerves.

Redox Homeostasis in Muscular Dystrophies
In recent years, growing evidence has suggested a prominent role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of several early- and adult-onset muscle disorders, although effective antioxidant treatments are still lacking.

Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies
The phenotype in limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) type 21 was defined by mutation analysis, protein studies, and respiratory and cardiac involvement studied in 16 patients from 14 families with fukutin-related protein (FKRP) gene mutations and LGMD,

Artificial restoration of the linkage between laminin and dystroglycan ameliorates the disease progression of MDC1A muscular dystrophy at all stages [PDF]
Laminin-α2 deficient congenital muscular dystrophy, classified as MDC1A, is a severe progressive muscle-wasting disease that leads to death in early childhood.

Cytokines and chemokines as regulators of skeletal muscle inflammation: presenting the case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe inherited muscle disease that affects 1 in 3500 boys worldwide. Infiltration of skeletal muscle by inflammatory cells is an important facet of disease pathophysiology and is strongly associated with disease ...

Emerging Gene Correction Strategies for Muscular Dystrophies: Scientific Progress and Regulatory Impact [PDF]
Muscular dystrophies comprise a heterogeneous cluster of inherited muscle degenerative disorders with the common feature of progressive muscle weakness. These represent good candidates for treatment with gene-based therapies.

Hereditary muscular dystrophies
Precise diagnostic of hereditary muscular diseases begins to change during recent years due to genetic achievements. Genetic defects discoveries typical for different clinical variants of muscular dystrophies give opportunity for creation of specific ...

Expanding the phenotypic variability of MORC2 gene mutations: From Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease to late‐onset pure motor neuropathy Abstract MORC2 gene encodes a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein involved in chromatin remodeling, DNA repair, and transcriptional regulation. Heterozygous mutations in MORC2 gene have been associated with a spectrum of
